Dynamic Steel Project is a Caribbean-American fusion ensemble based in the Baltimore-Washington area that aims to provide high quality, multi-genre musical experiences featuring the STEELPAN for audiences of all ages. Join us for a special tribute to Caribbean Women in the diaspora who have been adding to the landscape of performance, composition, and arrangements in steelpan music! Coming out of Women’s History Month and starting Jazz Appreciation Month and Celebrate Diversity Month, we want to amplify the often unrepresented works of female composers and arrangers in a typically male-dominated arena. It will be an experience you don’t want to miss!
Special guest performers to include CAFE’s Positive Vibrations Youth Steel Orchestra, pianist Joseph Bowens, and vocalists Erika Reign & Ryan Collins! Featured artwork by Elizabeth Caesar and Sharniece Bowens
